Abstract

The distributed software team structure represents a development type ensuring that team members are located in different remote sites through the life cycle of the software. Hence, it forms a network of distant sub-teams. Nowadays, the development of software projects with geographically distant groups forces software development environments to be flexible. It is of great importance for these software managers to organize and manage their distributed team management well. A higher number of stakeholders are brought to the scene of software projects by the trend of the distributed teams throughout countries and zones. Whereas risk management is the most significant assurance to obtain the project’s expected outcome, the said processes must be considered as the shared responsibilities and commitment of the stakeholders taking part in the project from each site. The development of software ‘in-house’ leads to a number of risks. At the same time, its development partially in another geography causes the exponential multiplication of the risks in question. The management of risks must start at the early project stages and proceed in the form of a monitoring and follow-up effort during the projects’ life cycle. In scope of this paper, the process steps developed to be carried out in accordance with Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), instead of the traditional project method approach of the main risk factors in the distributed team structure are explained in detail. Also, the current study aimed to reveal the components taking part in the process of risk management regarding distributed software development.
